Summary |
With The Quiltmaker's Handbook, you'll learn how to create useful, uniquely personal, band beautiful bed coverings, wall hangings, and pillows; one-of-a-kind works of art using inexpensive materials and fabric remnants. This complete quiltmaking manual offers easy-to-understand instructions and step-by-step photographs that illustrate each stage in the quiltmaking process. Michael James explains how to do both pieced work- including the time-honored log cabin, English patch and star patterns- and appliqued quilts and helps you progress from using traditional quilt patterns in your work to creating your own original designs. You'll learn what material, needles, batting, and other supplies are best for specific quilting projects, how to cut and mark fabric, how to draft and cut patterns, how to enlarge your patterns using a grid, how to use colors creatively and how to put the finishing touches on your quilt. |
